I-10 California to Florida.

FYI, Anyone going through the area in CA where the bridge was washed out should have no concerns as the only slow down is at the construction site. East bound is moved to the west bound bridge one lane each way. The only slow down was the construction speed (45mph). CHP is there. Several cars found out. Traveling in the rig pulling the toad to CA and back to AZ was uneventful. Just some rough surface areas.

Hearst Castle is neither in Oregon, nor along the poster's route on I-10, but I grant, it would be nice to see.

We live in San Antonio and use I-10 when going east toward FL. Yes, there are some crummy spots on the road in LA but nothing that would stop us from going that way. As far as hail, well that is mainly a Springtime phenomenon. Right now and most of the rest of the year there is no hail. Very hot all summer. I-10 is an excellent way to go.

We are leaving CA next week headed to FL going straight out I-10 all the way. Not excited hearing about the rough road conditions in Louisiana. Every State seems to have their share of rough roads.

I've heard this all the time about I-10. So, what other route could be taken outside of I-10? Is this the only way east to west or west to east if driving the southern states?

X1, Make sure your insurance covers hail storms!!!!!

Check into when Spring Break will be in Florida next year and work your trip around that.
Balmorrhea State Park TX exit 209. Neat spring.
San Antonio TX: River Walk & The Alamo.
Lafayette LA: Stay at RV park in the area and drive down to Avery Island to the Tabasco factory.
New Orleans WWII museum, French Quarter great food!
Biloxi MS - beaches, casinos.
There are great state parks walking distance or biking distance to beach in the Florida panhandle.
Pensacola FL: National Naval Aviation Museum, beaches.
Marianna FL: Florida Caverns State Park (sites are tight for big rigs).
White Springs FL: Stephen Foster State Park.

What are your interests?
